yeah that is rude! you don't just blow up at a person for giving their honest opinion! you just don't do it! i think i've had that happen to me, but i forget exactly what it was. i think i told her how i thought she could improve her...um...i forget. it was art of some kind. well i told her how she could improve it, and she got ticked off. same thing as a lot of you people.

i would've just said it like it was, but that would be me.
anyways, y would you let that get to you. unless she's a hacker, you have nothing to worry about. besides, you cant please everyone.

i have had this happen in real life. i try helping someone, they snap at me. even when they asked for help (which is kinda funny.) just keep in mind that not everyone is like that ^w^.

Oh lord... criticism...

I just wrote a five-page rant about constructive criticism not being well-received in Art School, and creative writing isn't that much different. -_-

When I'm met with someone like that, I suggest that they seriously think about the medium they have chosen. Most people want to write a novel, but they don't have the experience, skill, technique, or even enough material to get very far. So I tell them that if they want to continue to do the story, they should consider making it into a short story, a series of poems, or a comic book. A lot of times, they like the idea of making it into a comic book instead of a novel. I think that says a little bit about society, but that's a different thesis for me to write one day...

Anyhow, they don't give me lip for telling them that they should try a different medium for their work. There's psychology in that... but, once again, a thesis for another day.

Some people just don't appreciate constructive criticism. :roll:

Don't let 'em get you down- they're just stuck up little brats whose mums and dads have wiped their asses all their lives and told them what clever little boys and girls they all are.

On gaia I was reported and flamed by 50+ members for reporting a porn thread in the GD >.<

As for your problem, well, that girl has issues. I believe someone who is unable to take constructive or even BAD criticism... should keep it to themselves. Even in saying ___ ___ and __ suck, it's at least a direction to focus, yet a lot of people nowadays just seem to want people to stroke their egos... *sigh* The bigger the ego, the more arrogant they become, the more arrogant they become the more they want their ego stroked until they get to the point where people will give up hope on them...

Some people get to live in their ego strokes lives until they reach the age where a harsh reality will rip them apart...

That's happened several times to me; my friend online was being bullied by this threatener / bully, and I was trying to stay calm and nice and told him to stop bullying her or else I'd proceed to telling an administrator, or moderator, or if he continued, I'd just report him. There was a glitch at that time so nobody could leave the chat. He said that he wasn't afraid, and pursued to threaten some more , and started cursing. He ended up being banned afterwards, for a record of bullying people online.

Man, that was the reason I didn't post anything I'd written for years, I didn't want to be that kind of person. I mean, I ask for constructive crit all the time, and I'm a beta reader for half the writers I know, so I'm pretty sure that the two dozen or so of us are the type that are in it for the writing, not the praise.

If her story was that bad and her grammer was vulgar and terrible what makes you think she really would be open to be critiqued. Sounds like she was hoping everyone would like it because she has a high opinion of herself. Or the manner in which you presented yourself made her feel you were attacking her instead of trying to be helpful. Sometimes you also have to be careful how you word your response. Some people can come across as being critical of the individual and not the material. And anyway being online opens you to all sorts of people. Everyone has their opinion. You have to be prepared to take some abuse if you deal with people you really dont know. Life lesson.

I would just ignore people like that. They are just showing their immaturity and that they are a whiny little brats. I have come across ungrateful people on the internet quite a bit. I know I have said things trying to be helpful and people have gotten extremely rude with me and usually I just leave and try not to speak to that same person again. It has happened on this site at least a couple of times. If someone doesn't find my advice helpful, that is okay, but they do not need to act like a jerk to me over it. It doesn't matter though, it is all strangers on the internet and to be honest I don't really care. I like to be helpful if I can but if it isn't appreciated then they can just deal with whatever it is their issue is. It isn't my problem. :roll:

I had a problem like that once where a girl posted in the CB about her art shop, which was really expensive and not my style. So I posted that while I could afford it, I didn't want to buy it. She called me a b*tch and told me to keep my opinion to myself just for saying politely that I didn't like her art. BUT, a few posts later, someone saw what she said and was like "woah even if I did like your art I wouldn't buy it because you act like that". Ultimately her response to my distaste crashed the whole thread and even lost her a bit of potential business. :XD So yeah, just remember - people can be rude, but it'll come around full-circle for them later.

Since Bane Rie has not posted in here in a while I'm going to lock this up.

If Bane Rie wants this reopened please PM me or an online Mod and we'll gladly open this back up for you.
